I gotta admit, it does seem quite crazy to show up to a summit meeting concering the environment in that. Moreso considering they have lightweight armored vehicles that are more efficient.

However, the article is dumb. Doesnt diesel fall back to the earth and would be more "air friendly" than a gas vehicle?

Regardless, I think you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I dont buy into global warming, but I do like cleaner air and I *DO* like for my government officials to travel efficiently. An 8-Ton diesel sure does consume a lot of my tax dollars. ;) ;)

'Huge eye roll"


And we could weave bullet resistant cloth out of hemp fibers.

And a female, black, hispanic, not fat (but weight challenged under the Americans with Disabilities Act person) could be the driver.

Jesus.

I have a better solution.

How about we stay out of Europe. And our money stays out of Europe.

And the Muslims and the Russians can argue about which French women would be best classified as whores or dishwashers.

Electric cars pollute to the same degree as petroleum fueled cars. They just do it at the beginning and end of their lives vice during.

Making those batteries is a major source of pollution. Disposing of them is a major source of pollution.

And where does the electricity come from to charge them? Unless it's generated by a nuclear plant then every time the car's batteries are charged they're creating pollution at the electric generating plant.

This! Glad to see someone else realizes it!

Honestly? Portugal does not equal "Europe" any more than California equals the United States. Looking at the article, the only ones I see making a stink over it are those in Lisbon. So by reading what comes out of San Fran, we can deduce that all Americans are gay Libs? Pretty broad brush we're using here......

The Europeans use more diesel cars than hybrid/electric vehicles as their solution to fuel consumption. Not sure how that works in regards to greenhouse gasses. The president of Portugal could probably arrive on a bicycle if that's what he wanted to do, but POTUS requires a little more security than that.

That article left me confused. Is it a NATO meeting or an environmental meeting? Seems silly to focus on "The Beast" as they call it rather than what they're there to talk about. Perhaps they should spend a little more time covering the impending nuptials for the royal family in the UK?

Say it aint so!!
All the treehuggers would have you believe that electricity to recharge their cars is made right behind the socket they plug into and it just appears by magic.

Combining sarcasm and the truth in one succinct statement that is also funny.

Hat's off to you my friend.:clap3:
